ABSTRACT
If an insurer advises that it is dealing as a ‘Domestic Regulation Insurer’, or under the terms of ‘Article 75’, it is in effect acting in the shoes of the MIB, and all terms of the 1999 Agreement will have to be complied with. Notice must be given in these circumstances in accordance with the terms of the 1999 Agreement, and for the sake of certainty should be given to the MIB and the insurer, with the additional notice to the insurer (before or within seven days of proceedings) of the bringing of proceedings,5 until you have unequivocal confirmation in writing that notice need only be given to one or the other.
